Driving in the UK

Before driving any vehicle (car, motorbike, van etc) in the UK, you should check that you meet all of the legal requirements which allow you to drive in the UK. These may be very different from your home country.

It is a criminal offence to drive using a licence that is not valid in the UK. In addition, if you do so, your car insurance will be invalidated and you will be committing a further criminal offence of 'driving without motor insurance'.
